Schedule RDS Instances

Automate start and stop times for AWS RDS instances with schedules

Select your instances

Choose which RDS instances to target by using your native AWS tags. Using GorillaStack’s advanced logic you can create reusable Tag Groups. You can set rules for RDS instances running PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.

Create a schedule

Decide when to turn your RDS instances on or off. You’re able to start up an RDS instance without needing a rule to bring it back down again or vice-versa. You can also set up multiple schedules targeting different Tag Groups.

Let the magic happen

Relax. When its time for the RDS instance to start or stop you can get an alert in Slack, HipChat or E-mail. Once you receive the alert you can choose to undo or suspend the action. Take advantage of our team permissions and roles to enable others to intercede at any point.
